English

Subject field(s)
  • Legal Actions
  • Penal Law
CONT

This can result in unjustified charges being laid or in too many charges being laid where merely the formal requirements for charge exist. This condition is sometimes described as overcharging.

CONT

Horizontal overcharging occurs when multiple charges arise from a single incident, and vertical overcharging occurs, when more than one of the similar penal statutes carrying disparate sentences are applied to a single transaction. The overcharging is most often practised by prosecutors to coerce a guilty plea.
